- Parallel movement of the hands: five unfinished longer works / by Ashbery, John,1927-2017,author.(CARDINAL)141992; Skillings, Emily,editor.; Lerner, Ben,1979-author of foreword.(CARDINAL)466743;
Includes bibliographical references.Foreword : Never finished -- Introduction -- The history of photography -- The art of finger dexterity -- Sacred and profane dances -- 21 variations on my room -- The Kane Richmond project."A stunning collection of work from beloved poet John Ashbery: his first posthumous book. Renowned for his inventive mind, ambitious play with language, and dexterity with a wide range of tones and styles, John Ashbery has been a major artistic figure in the cultural life of our time. Parallel Movement of the Hands gathers unpublished, book-length projects and long poems written between 1993 and 2007, along with one (as yet) undated work, to showcase Ashbery?s diverse and multifaceted artistic obsessions and sources, from children?s literature, cliffhanger cinema reels, silent films, and classical music variations by Beethoven?s pupil Carl Czerny to the history of early photography. Ashbery even provides a fresh and humorous take on a well-worn parable from the Gospel of Matthew. These works demonstrate that while producing and publishing the shorter, discrete poems often associated with his late career, Ashbery continued to practice the long-form, project-based writing that has long been an important element of his oeuvre. Edited and introduced by Ashbery?s former assistant poet Emily Skillings and including a preface by acclaimed poet and novelist Ben Lerner, this compelling and varied collection offers new insights into the process and creative interests of a poet whose work continues to influence generations of artists and poets with its signature intertextuality, openness, and simultaneity. A landmark publication of never-before-seen works, this book will enlighten scholars as well as new readers of one of America?s most prominent and celebrated poets."--Publisher's website.- Subjects: Poetry.;

- 1 Corinthians a commentary in the Wesleyan tradition / by Deasley, Alex R.G.author;
Includes bibliographical references.What do you say to people who have accepted the gospel but have failed to apply it well? That is the dilemma Paul is facing as he writes 1 Corinthians. From the various disputes described in this epistle-over rhetorical techniques, eating Idol meat in pagan temples, behavior during the Lord's Supper, and so on-NBBC 1 Corinthians teases out that the epistle, unified by the gospel, is about how to do church. Throughout the commentary, eminent New Testament scholar Alex R. G. Deasley emphasizes that the proper application of the gospel is at stake. Along with the standard discussions about literary genre, structure, and historical context, Dr. Deasley astutely articulates the relevance of 1 Corinthians to the church today.
